Troubleshooting Guide

This article provides an overview of how to troubleshoot the SuiteFiles apps and provides steps to resolve common issues with our XPM and WFM integrations

Please note: We update the SuiteFiles Status Page if there is a current known issue affecting multiple SuiteFiles customers. Please check this page first if your whole team is having issues accessing your SuiteFiles site, a particular feature, or any of our apps and integrations. 

Otherwise, please check the links below to be taken to the relevant troubleshooting article for the issue that you're experiencing. 

SuiteFiles Web App

The SuiteFiles Web App is the main application you will be using to view your files and folders. If you experience an issue, you will want to try the steps below:  

Issue Resolution

  1. Logging out and into the SuiteFiles Drive

Email Delivery Issues

If you have shared a file or folder with a colleague or client, requested a file from a client or sent a document for signing, an email notification will be sent from SuiteFiles to the recipient. If you or your clients are not receiving emails there could be a number of factors for this, however we would like to hear from you if you/they are consistently not receiving email notifications from SuiteFiles, or there is a sudden change in email behaviour so that we can check our logs. 

If notification emails are landing in junk

Please add noreply@mail.suitefiles.com to your contact list or safe sender's list. 

If notifications have not arrived in your/your client's inbox and are not in junk

Send the following details to the SuiteFiles support team for further investigation. The information we require differs depending on the notification type:

Notification Type Details to Send to SuiteFiles Support
Document signing request to Signee Screenshot of the signing dashboard capturing file path, sent by user, recipient name & email, sent & expiry dates
Document signing completed notification to Signee Screenshot of the signing dashboard capturing file path, sent by user, recipient name & email, sent & expiry dates
Document signing notifications for SuiteFiles sender

As above plus which emails have/have not been received: Document has been viewed, Document signing - signed - [Signee name], Document has been signed

Share to Connect folder/file for Connect user Folder/file path, sent by user, recipient name & email, approximate time shared. 
File request for Connect user File path, sent by user, recipient name & email, approximate time shared.


While we do everything we can to ensure your emails are sent from SuiteFiles, there are factors outside of our control which may prevent the email arriving in your/your client's inbox. When you provide us with the above information, we can confirm that the email was sent from SuiteFiles' systems but we won't be able to identify the reason for an email not arriving into your/your client's inbox.
